Using the Computer
This chapter introduces the CK3 Mobile Computer with
Windows® Mobile Embedded Handheld 6.5.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
2 CK3R and CK3X Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Introducing the CK3 Mobile Computer
The Intermec CK3 Mobile Computer is an ergonomically designed
mobile computer built on the Microsoft® Windows® Embedded
Handlheld 6.5 operating system. The CK3 is lightweight, easy-to-use,
and runs most software developed for the Windows Mobile platform,
including standalone, client-server, and browser-based applications.
In this manual, CK3 refers to models CK3R, CK3X, and CK3X-NI,
unless specifically stated otherwise.
CK3 Mobile Computer

The CK3R Mobile Computer with a DHIB 802.11b/g/n radio
installed is Wi-Fi® certified for interoperability with other
802.11b/g/n wireless LAN devices.
The CK3X Mobile Computer with a DDIB 802.11a/b/g/n radio
installed is Wi-Fi® certified for interoperability with other
802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN devices.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
CK3R and CK3X Mobile Computer User’s Manual 3
The CK3 is available with the following features:
•802.11b/g/n (CK3R) or 802.11a/b/g/n (CK3X) and Bluetooth®
radio, standard
•256 MB DDR SDRAM
•512 MB Flash (CK3R), 1GB Flash (CK3X)
•Alphanumeric or numeric keypad
Using the Battery
The CK3 supports the use of these batteries as its main power source:
AB17, AB18, 1001AB01, or 1001AB02. The standard battery has a 7.4
Watt hour capacity, and the extended battery has a 18.8 Watt hour
capacity. Several factors determine the life of your battery, such as
extreme temperatures, input devices, and your usage.
You must fully charge the battery before you can use the CK3. When
you change the battery, an internal super capacitor maintains your
status, memory, and real-time clock for approximately 10 minutes.
Note: The radio also supports the 802.11d standard. The 802.11d
standard adds the requirements and definitions for 802.11 WLAN
equipment to operate in markets not served by the current
standard. For 802.11d support, you need to order the 802.11d
version of the CK3. For help, contact your local Intermec
representative.
The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical
burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it, heat it
above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate it. Dispose of used batteries
promptly. Keep away from children.
If you fail to replace the low battery immediately, you may lose
important data or applications.
Note: If the CK3 is not using external power and you remove the
battery pack, the CK3 goes into Suspend mode.
Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
4 CK3R and CK3X Mobile Computer User’s Manual
For replacement batteries, contact your Intermec representative.
Charging the Battery
Make sure you fully charge the AB17, AB18, 1001AB01, or 1001AB02
battery before you use your CK3. You can charge the battery before or
after you install it in the CK3. A fully discharged battery charges in
approximately 4 (AB17, 1001AB01, 1001AB02) to 7 (AB18) hours.
To charge the battery
•Insert the AB17 or AB18 battery into the battery bay of the AD20
single dock, or insert up to four batteries into the AC20 quad
battery charger.
Or,
•Insert the AB17, AB18, 1001AB01, or 1001AB02 battery into the
UMD quad bases model 1002UU04 or 1002UU05 with adapter
cups.
Removing and Installing the Battery
To maximize the time allowed to replace the main battery pack, put
the CK3 in suspend mode before removing the battery pack.
To remove and install the battery
1Press and hold for about 2 seconds. When you release , the
CK3 goes into suspend mode.
2If necessary, disconnect the handstrap from the bottom of the
CK3.
3Press the battery release tab toward the battery until the battery
releases, and then lift it away from the CK3.
4Insert the battery into the CK3, and press down on the battery
until it clicks into place.

Using the Keypad
Use the following sections to understand how to use the keypad. For
information on remapping the keypad, you can download the Device
IDL Resource Kit from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/
idl.
The CK3 comes with an alphanumeric keypad or a numeric keypad.
CK3 Alphanumeric Keypad CK3 Numeric Keypad
The full alphabetic keypad is designed for applications that require
primary input of alphabetic data. This keypad also provides special
characters, numbers, symbols, and functions by pressing color-coded
key sequences.
The numeric keypad is for applications that require mainly numeric
data. This keypad also lets you enter special characters, including the
alphabet, by pressing color-coded key sequences.

CK3R and CK3X Mobile Computer User’s Manual 7
Using the Power Button
When you press the Power button ( ), you put the CK3 into suspend
mode. In this lower power mode, the CK3 continues to supply power
to all memory, but turns off power to most hardware such as the
display. This power-saving feature is designed to prolong battery life.
When you press to turn the CK3 back on, your computer resumes
at the screen that was displayed when you turned it off. If you are
using WPA or 802.1x security, the CK3 may need to reauthenticate
before it resumes your application.
If the battery light flashes and your CK3 does not resume after
pressing , your battery may be too low to supply power. Replace the
battery.
Using the Touch Screen
When you turn on the mobile computer, the Home screen is the first
screen that appears. The Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 Home
screen has three navigation bars: the Title bar, the horizontal scroll
bar, and the Tile bar..
